After application has been recieved by the HO, wait for week, within which your payment should be deducted. Due to the large number of applications that they are recieving now, it may take more than a week. Once payment has been deducted wait a few days more and then you can send an email to them with your details, see the sticky FAQ thread to note the exact details to be emailed. They will respond back with your reference number

Depends on where you are applying for. If you are an in-country applicant and send a special delivery it will take a single day. If you are overseas it might take a week or so.
